THE 'AMBITIOUS PROGRAM OF THE NEW CHIEF
j Verden Moffitt, Salem's new chief of police, has an am
bitious program ; t r ,
But it is one that ought to be adopted iA full if it can be
done without further overburdening the taxpayers of the
city- -: ' : ' : .-;! ,
! , And it would provide a not too complete protection for
a city of Salem's size and importance. I
In the first place, the residence districts ought tosjave
some police protection
! And the vagrants and street comer loafers ought to be
made to eliminate themselves
And there should be an emergency officer night afnd day,
equipped with quick means of transportation -
And jaywalking ought to be stopped, for the safety of
the jaywalkers and automobile drivers: and parking places
ought to be better regulated, and traffic generally better
protected against accidents - r I
' And it would be a good thing to have an adequate call
box system lor the ponce.
This ambitious program is set forward on account of the
pride Mr. Mof f ittwould like to take in furnishing to the peo
ple of Salem greater safety of life and limb and property.
Not for his own glorification, but In the spirit of service,
does Mr. Moffitt announce his program. .
He may- be disappointed in the speedy realization of
: norne of his dream of an adequate service for life is full
of disappointments .1 v V V 1 i
And everybody these days is likely to shy at anything
that looks, like adding to the already too heavy tax burdens.
But Mr. Moffitt offers nothing more ambitious than Sa
lem deserves and ought to-have,' and if heVill keep on pa
tiently plugging away, he will realize his dream one of these
days and probably before long for Salem is going to grow
and prosper, and her, people will come to agree, presently.
that tjiothing in reason is too good in the way of proper pro
tection and security an the domain of law ana order and
safety. ; . k. . ., ' . . .. .
: THE SUCCESSFUL LIFE -
' (Copyrighted by The San Jose Mercury)
1 ' Our idea sfof life change with our development. Each suc-
rcssive stag in the development of the individual brings its
ambitious atul interests and changes its purposes and viewpoint,
. until maturity comes, when the, so-called frolics of childhood
tiid youth arc Irft In-hind and the man is absorbed in avocations
Miid ambitioiiK of the average normal man. But how much bel
ter in the ordinal- .man 'employing Jib time than does the child
or youth? He s,eiids nearly all of his time in his business,
in the making of money,' in solving his professional problems

ures the success of his life in dollars and cents, and gets Ms
satisfaction largely, if not cnlinly, froji the purely physical
results he is able to accomplish, ' Itarcly indeed does man spend
much time in thinking or striving for those finer, deeper, diviner
things, without which the most active, prosperous and influential
' life is little better than a miserable failure.
But there is here no attempt to belittle business or any
useful occupation by which men make an honest livelihood or
work the modern business miracles. 'All of these things are
iuightily important to society as well as to the individual. . "He
that provideth not forihis owu household is worse than an
infidel." says the very" highest authority. He that does not
discharge faithfully and " conscientiously the physical and
worldly duties that lifeQbrulgs to him is in no. attitude or eon
ilitiou to properly discharge any higher ones. No person,
neglecting , his first duty to himself and his family, to go into
1 Hie world m an effort to reform or regenerate it, ever amounted
to much as a preacher or reformer or got much satisfaction or
reward out 6l life. , . i
' . : . . V . r'-
Most people have not learned that man is endowed' vitb
'three distinct natures, the physical, the intellectual and the
spiritual ; and that symmetrical and harmonious development
of the individual is impossible unless all three of these natures
are givcu projMr action and attention. Without this symmetrical
and harmonious development no one can become as efficient
us he may and should be and accoinJ)tish what he might accom
plish industrially, intellectually or spiritually.
The.physical nature is the first to tlevelop and if properly
controlled and directetl will lccomc the foundation to sustain
the other two-natures. It can not. however, become such foun
dation if wholly neglected, as it is by the great majority of
American business and professional,; men and educated, and
well-to-do Americans generally. That regular habits of life,
good, wholoouie food, regular, active bodily exercise, and
plenty of fresh air arc necessary to bodily health, strength and
vigor, most men will readily agree;. but when you tell them that
fhese things arc just as essential to intellectual and spiritual
ilcvck'pmcnt, Mreugth and achievement, they are apt to look
puzzled or sneer in derision. It is true nevertheless.
No 111 a 11 can do ir be bis best in any lircction wheu banr
percd by a weak, sickly or pain-racked botly. Many a student
has made himself a wreck for life, deprived himself of the
cilucation that he'eraved or brought himself to an early gra re
by neglecting the demands of his botly. A frail and cmar iati-d
fnuae,' a pallid and solemn visage, end big hollow ryes are not
iMM-essary awompanimcnts of a saint. ; Those who arc informed
Know lhat these things aie apt to be the marks of the dyspeptic,
hypochondriac and misanthrope. The real, live saint should
hiive bounding health, a smiling;face. bright, uj looking eyes
and endurance of body r as well as of mind and spirit. The
ideal lifethe truly successful' one. the ; one that incans the
cry uicst to the individual and to the world is the one, with
till three part of the nature harmoniously dcveloel; strong
in body, quick ami penetrating of . mind, aud a regenerated,
active. pirit guiding, directing and dominating it all.
' Th- ?oul. ihe spirit of mau, is the only thing he takes into
eternity. The great purpose of life' here,; therefore, is not to
aciuire riches or iuflucnce' or pojerl not simply to enable us
to grasp end enjoy the goodf things of the earth and come down
to the grave at last with4 our. hands and hearts clinging to
perishable things of the world and empty of everything else;
but it is to furnish us an opportunity to develop, purify, elevate,
and make active 'and dcmina,nt our spirits. y
This life is like a school, for the education and development
of the spiritual nature in each man, in order to fit him to take
full advantage of the ihm opportunities and larger life to come.
This life is "the'primary -school in-which are to be earned the
lessons that fit man for the higher department to follow. 'With
out taking the fullest advantage of the; opportunities offered
in this primary grade lie is in nojeondition to understand or to
take part in the work of the next department, or to share in
the development which it is intended to bring.
: The man who has neglected the needs of his spiritual nature
lias not only overlooked the main purpose of life, but he has
missed its greatest rewards. The beast of the fryJd, if supplied
with food and warmth, has 'physical content, but is incapable
of happiness. The man who follows t lie desires and impulses
of the flesh and is wholly absorbed .with' the things of the-phy-sical
world .may, like the bcsistsometimes have ;i kiud of animal
content and satisfaction, tyut he is incapable of feeling real
happiness. The intellectually developed man has a higher
enjoyment than this, but real happiness is reserved for the man
with -a developed soul. His spirit is attuned to the melody of
the spiritual universe, lie feels the thrill of the inspiration
that comes from the Great Center Life of the creation. The
unselfish love of (Jod is swelling in his heart, bringing its price
less blessings. Every moment brings; a joy which the uuspiri
tual man call not know. And while 'enjoying the present he
cau look forward and upward -with hope aye, with certainty
and trust in his uod, and know that all is w ell, here and now
and always. . Whatever the world may think of it, his is the
puccessf ul life. It is the only truly .successful life there is.
